Transport

Introduction

We recommend that you use public transport in Strasbourg.

Maps of the transport company called CTS, can be found at
http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/.
The most useful map is this one
urban
map. Locate the "Gare Centrale" (train station), the
"Esplanade", the "Baggersee" (junction with the airport shuttle)
and "Homme de fer" (central point of junction of all tramway
lines). The lines you will mostly use to get to town, to the
campus or to the train station, are A, C and E.

Tickets for public transport

You need to buy tickets yourselves: get them from any tramway
station, where you can buy them. Price starts at 1.40 EUR for a
single one way trip of 1 hour max.

Transport from the Strasbourg-Entzheim airport

Take the bus shuttle from the airport. When you get out of
the airport, walk the right side of the building to the shuttle
station. It's a 20 minutes trip to the "Baggersee" tramway
station and cost near 5 EUR. You buy the ticket from the bus
driver. The ticket includes circulation with the tramway for a
overall duration that should not exceed one hour.

Transport from others airports

The easiest way to come to Strasbourg is the train. Shuttles
from the airport to the train station are both available in Basel
and Baden-Baden.

Train

Strasbourg train station is very close to the center of the
town. More informations at:
http://www.voyages-sncf.com/leisure/fr/launch/home/ (only in
french and probably not very useful for non french travellers).

Car

Traffic in Strasbourg can be very heavy on some hours of the
day. Parking is also quite expensive and hard to find close to
the center of the town.

Parking at University is bad at weekdays but fine during the
weekend. It is free most of the time.

Cabs

Cabs in Strasbourg are reliable, and they all run by meter.
They all have a "Taxi" sign on the roof. There are several
companies, but as they all use the same meter, you should
not care. There is of course a start fee, higher by night.
Credit cards are refused by some drivers and none will take
it for a trip under 15 EUR. So ask the driver before.

Conference transport

Strasbourg being a rather small town, and the conference taking
part in the central campus, there is no need to organize a bus.
We prefered preparing daily tickets which are valid for any trip
by bus or tramway in the city. You will get them at the
registration desk.
